Building Inspections

When you receive your Building Permit, you will be advised or given a list of the inspections that will be required for your project. The following list shows typical inspections that are commonly required.

The applicant or builder is responsible to call for inspections at the appropriate stages of construction, giving 24 hours notice.

Water and Sewer Services Inspection (all work, line or tanks prior to backfill)

Before a building is occupied an Occupancy Permit must be issued. In order to receive an Occupancy Permit, the following requirements must be met:

Final Inspection by Development Officer

Final Electrical Inspection (Gas Inspector, GNWT)

Final Gas Inspection (if applicable), (Gas Inspector, GNWT)

Fire Marshal Approval (if applicable)

Inspector’s Role

Please remember that the Inspector’s role is to review the drawings and construction for conformance to applicable codes and regulations. The Inspector may answer questions directly pertaining to interpretation of the regulations but cannot be used as a consultant. It is the Owner’s responsibility to be aware and to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
